Easter?

"The Easter Service–considered the most sacred observance of the year––focuses the Christian community on the miracle of His resurrection much like Christmas focuses it on His birth.

"But on a day that is considered so sacred, people worship with bunny rabbits, hot cross buns and colored eggs. What do these things have to do with worshiping Jesus Christ or commemorating His resur-rection? Moreover, why didn’t anyone observe Easter in the Bible?"

Calling it "The oldest feast of the Christian Church," the writers notice that "... the apostolic fathers do not mention it" and that when we first heard of it, principally through the Controversy of the Quartodecimans, is purely accidental.

"That’s right: The word Easter is never even mentioned in the Bible. Although ‘Easter’ is found once in the King James translation, scholars today agree that the Greek word translated ‘Easter’ (pascha) in Acts 12:4 should be translated ‘Passover.’" The English term (Easter) ... relates to Estre, a Teutonic goddess of the rising light of day and spring ... the Babylonian name for this goddess was Ishtar. The Phoenician name was Astarte, the wife of the sun god, Baal, the worship of whom is continually denounced in the Bible as the most abominable of all pagan idolatry (I Kings 22:53; Jer. 32:35).

"This goddess is actually ancient Semiramis, the mother and wife of Nimrod, the mighty warrior who rebelled against God (Gen. 10:8-9).

"A controversy calling for the annual Sunday observance of ‘Easter’ continues for almost 200 years, until Easter was officially adopted by the church at Rome at the time of Constantine in A.D. 325.

"At the time of Jesus Christ and the apostles, no one had ever kept Lent–the 40 days of abstinence preceding Easter. Much like Easter, it has pagan origins: It was "directly borrowed from the worshipers of the Babylonian goddess," says Alexander Hislop in his book "THE TWO BABYLONS." "Such a Lent of 40 days, in the Spring of the year, is still observed by the Yezidis or pagan devil worshipers of Kurdistan, who have inherited it from their early masters, the Babylonians."

Easter is a hoax.

The holidays in America are promoted by big business advertisers, and they are a successful marketing tool.

^^^ I don't know exactly if you wish us a Happy Easter or you are trying to show that we celebrate a day that isn't mentioned in the Bible. To my shame...i never read the Bible, but if you say so it may be true. It's sumthin sacred you know, even if it is or not mentioned in the Bible, every Christian knows that Jesus really resurrected and about red eggs it says in the Bible about'em. When Virgin Maria went to Jesus who was on the cross she had a basket of eggs and Jesus' blood pour on them...About bunnys and shit like that it's all media and merchandise man. Did you know that Santa Clause is not dress in red and white?! I didn't but in the ancient stories he is described as wearing blue and white(he;s a crip not a blood) Anyways...the red santa is just a result of marketing especially Coca-Cola...

Happy Easter to everyone on DubCC !
Dubz up !

infnite.. this post proves once and for all what a CUNT you are.. and a stupid one at that.

even IF america's capitalism has distorted it.. easter was being celebrated in europe before america was even discovered.  nearly all america's culture is 'borrowed'.

what you posted is LIES. its easy to find references to easter going back to 1000 years before america was discovered.

^^Try actually reading my post before you begin slandering me.  I never said America invented Easter.

If you read what I posted you would see that it mentions that Easter was established during the rule of Constantine 300 years after Jesus.

Even if its mentioned in the bible or not it makes no difference Easter is a holy holiday for christians because we remember Jesus being resurected. Marketing has taken over a bit to get the children involved and make some $$$, just like christmas some people forget the real reason behind these events. I don't know why your trying to discredit them, we all have are own ways of celebrating Jesus, in my opinion if your religious it doesn't matter how follow the religion as long as you do it in a way which fits your beliefs and not trying to use your religion against others, so you will be comfortable when the time comes to meet God.

this reminds me of a dude that was slandering christmas, because its so commercialised... well it still brings a smile to a childs face, and it brings everyone together, dont diss it..

so you would prefer easter to be just another day ?

Easter is the most Holy of days for Christians as we celebrate Christ's suffereing and dying on the cross as well as his ressurection to save us from sin and bring us everlasting life. the term itself "easter" im not sure but may just be made up but the actual significance of the event is huge.
 this is obviously something mentioned continuously in the Bible as the whole Christian faith revovles around it. the Easter with the bunnies and hot cross buns and egg hunts is just a marketing tool that appeals to kids and makes them all warm and fuzzy inside .
